Over time, though, Chaturanga has become a great friend and teacher, helping me to develop the strength and stability that once seemed elusive and imprint actions and principles that serve throughout my practice. The pose is challenging for many students, but its payoffs are great: It strengthens the arms and legs, tones the abdominals, builds healthy shoulders, and prepares students for arm balances, inversions, and backbends.

Handstand is one of those yoga poses (asana) that's wrapped in myth-that is, myth of our own making. Some see it as the Everest of asana-something only the most experienced practitioners get to summit. Others see it as a party trick-flashy, impressive, maybe even a little indulgent. But think back to being a kid-throwing yourself upside down on the grass, tumbling through the air, not caring whether you stuck the landing or rolled out laughing. That spirit is the embodiment of Handstand.

There's a growing list of "business-minded" men granted unfettered access and authority over sweeping government initiatives under Trump who have achieved nothing other than self-enrichment.
